“You can't make a good deal with a bad person”
— Warren Buffett
Simplified Meaning:
When you're working with someone untrustworthy or dishonest, any agreement you make with them likely won't turn out to be good for you. Think of it like trying to buy a car from a known scammer; no matter how good the deal looks, they'll find a way to trick you or give you a bad car. Similarly, if you have a friend who often lies or breaks promises, planning a trip with them will probably lead to problems and disappointment. To avoid these situations, it's best to work with people who have proven themselves to be reliable and honest. By choosing your partners or friends wisely, you increase the chance of positive outcomes and avoid potential troubles. This advice helps in everything from business decisions to personal relationships. Always consider a person's character before entering an agreement or commitment with them.
